What is a Low Cost Solar Dryer?
A Low Cost Solar Dryer is an enclosed drying system that uses solar energy to remove moisture from food products under controlled conditions. Compared to traditional open sun drying, it provides faster, cleaner, and more uniform drying while protecting products from contamination.
Unlike expensive fuel-based drying systems, solar dryers have low operating costs because they primarily rely on free solar energy, making them ideal for rural entrepreneurs and small food processing units.
